Apple will not do landscape sms because there's not enough screen real estate. Technically there is, but not enough for it to look pretty. Apple wants us to see our keyboard, what we're typing, and the fancy bubbles of the conversation. There's not enough room for all that stuff in landscape mode.

Before I tried out this app I thought the same thing.....there won't be enough room for the keyboard and be able to see what you are typing. But I was wrong. There is more than enough room for apple to develop it. The only thing it doesn't incorporate are those fancy bubbles, but I would rather be without the bubbles then landscape sms
 
Yeah but you still have to pay to get the license...

You can still use it without paying. You just have to sit through the "please buy the license" notifications, which I find occurs about 1 in every 5 sms I send. Aside from that, everything works great.
 
You guys the latest update to irealSMS is totally worth the money. I swear!

I bought version one iRealSMS. The author promised free upgrades. Two months later, he wants me to pay the same amount for version 2.

I can't trust the author anymore. I can't support that business model.

I switched to biteSMS. It's free if you use your provider's SMS network. Landscape and forwarding built-in.
 
Is there any difference between the using it with the license and using it without the license?

I've never used it without the license tbqh


and as far as the "free" upgrades, I don't know who told you that. On day one the price of the App like $4 dollars, and he noted that it wasn't the best polished app at the time. However there was a post stating that a Major update was going to rank up the price; however, current owners would get a discount....since there is the update feature that cost less...

yeah i use biteSMS and its really good, free landscape. i still have my texts send via ATT though. the only thing i dont like the pink icon lol
 
Hey, bitesms is really good. I'm impressed. A lot better than irealsms and mysms. I liked mysms, just didn't like the constant "buy license" notifications.

One thing I don't like: When viewing all messages, it doesn't list names, instead it list the phone number. Maybe I don't have something enabled? And the pink icon, would like that changed......if only I knew how to SSH

EDIT: disregard the phone number and name comment. It seems like it only happens after I send a message. But shows the name after I close. I don't know.

What discount? He charged 5 euro for irealsms 1.0, is charging 10 euro for irealsms 2.0, and wants 5 euro for updates from 1.0 to 2.0, which is 10 euro total. I see no discount! All I see is that I paid for the privilege to be a beta tester.

irealsms 2.0 doesn't provide enough features to justify the price, in my opinion. other people can make up their own minds.

I still don't understand why people are still hesitant about jailbreaking. It takes absolutely no time at all and is completely reversible. I mean really, what do you have to lose??

As far as these SMS apps go, I've tried all three and none of them are as smooth as Apple's native SMS app. I thought for a minute that I might stick with MySMS IF you weren't REQUIRED to make a donation (kind of oxymoronic if you ask me).

Yeah I don't really understand either. If my girlfriend who is not very tech saavy can do it on her own then I would think people would at least try it. It's easy to just restore it and get it back if you don't like it.
